<h3>Details</h3>

<p>Cars were selected at random from among 1993 passenger car models that
were listed in both the <em>Consumer Reports</em> issue and the
<em>PACE Buying Guide</em>.  Pickup trucks and Sport/Utility vehicles were
eliminated due to incomplete information in the <em>Consumer Reports</em>
source.  Duplicate models (e.g., Dodge Shadow and Plymouth Sundance)
were listed at most once.
</p>
<p>Further description can be found in Lock (1993).
